Historically, a dead heat in the generic ballot has meant a +2-3 pt advantage for Republicans.

Pardon....but wasn't it (if I read posts from this site from last Jan/Feb) going to be a "landslide" for the rinos this Nov?
Yet now, it is reduced to a weak "historical precedent" of a +2-3%. Your "landslide" is most assuredly slipping badly.

Really? Yet he is buried in the low 40's. Historically dangerously territory for an incumbent.

Again with the "historically"! And "low 40s,dangerous territory" applies only if there is viable competition. Unfortunately, there IS no viable competition for reid. You know it...and worse, so does he.

Rasmussen and Gallup.

Quoting pollsters to prove a point is worthless. You might want to try reading "Who Will Tell The People" (Grieder) regarding lobbyists and pollsters. It just could do you good.

There have never, ever been such numbers for any President. Even Jimmy Carter. Or Millard Fillmore. If you didn't already know that, you have no credibility.

Since you put so much store in your pollsters, try looking up GWs "Strong Approval" rating in January of '09. Again, you just might be enlightened. And...please don't be upset, it is always the "last bastion" of believers and emotionally based arguers to rely on personal insult as opposed to reason. Too bad.

If you wish to cry in your beer, sit on your ass and bitch and moan, it is certainly your right to do so.

Again with the personal insults! Exactly what facts do you use to make these insults? And...how do you know I am - as you so crassly put it - sitting on my ass? Oh...and by the way...I don't drink beer.

But don't come in here with weak crap like that and expect to be taken seriously.

Reason is not your strong suite...but it would appear that emotional outbursts are. So be it.

Here's a suggestion...and only a suggestion....let's both wait to see what occurs in November. Then we'll "meet" back here and see who "carried" the day? Agreed?

Lastly....I am a staunch conservative in both my political views and in the manner in which I cast a ballot. Just so you know.

Clearly, you have comprehension problems. The last generic ballot was 46/36 in favor of the GOP. And, historically, a draw has meant a +2-3% advantage for Republicans.

Are you obtuse? Merely ignorant? Or a liberal agent provacateur?

And...how do you know I am - as you so crassly put it - sitting on my ass?

Should I have said "sitting on your brain", instead?

Lastly....I am a staunch conservative in both my political views and in the manner in which I cast a ballot.

In which case, the Constitution Party, or whichever flea on the public dog, welcomes your vote. To no measurable effect.
